Chapter 10 - Noxus Academy

I got featured LETS GÒOOOOOOOOO

==============================

Aiden emerged from the Trial of the Enigmatic Enclave, victorious and ready to take on the challenges that awaited him at the Noxus Academy. Kali, visibly impressed, congratulated him.

"Well done, Aiden. You've proven yourself to be quite the remarkable individual. You'll be a valuable addition to the Noxus Academy," Kali complimented.

"Thanks, Kali. I'm looking forward to what lies ahead," Aiden replied, a sense of pride evident in his voice.

Kali led Aiden back to the teleportation platform, and in a flash of light, they returned to the Guild Association. Aiden's family awaited him, eager to hear the outcome of the tests.

"Aiden, my boy, how did it go?" Lenn asked anxiously.

Aiden grinned and said, "I passed all three tests with flying colors! I'm officially a student of the Noxus Academy now!"

His mother, Elaine, beamed with pride. "That's wonderful news, Aiden! I always knew you would excel. Now, remember, don't forget to make friends and enjoy your time at the academy."

Aiden laughed, knowing that his mother's advice was her subtle way of urging him to find a girlfriend. "Don't worry, Mom. I'll keep that in mind."

Just as they were about to head home, Aiden reached into his pocket and pulled out his Z-Phone. "Oh, I almost forgot to introduce you all to someone. This is Iris Ouroboros" he said, activating a holographic projection of the AI.

"Hello, Mrs. Ouroboros. It's a pleasure to meet you," Iris greeted, her blue eyes shimmering with warmth.

Elaine was intrigued and impressed by the Ai.

As the family celebrated, Elaine couldn't help but notice the warmth in Aiden's eyes whenever he mentioned Iris , the AI he had created. She found it curious, but she decided not to pry further at the moment, trusting that Aiden would share with her if he felt comfortable.

She welcomed Iris with open arms, delighted to have her as part of the family.

In the following days, Aiden prepared to leave for the Noxus Academy. He bid farewell to his family, promising to visit them whenever he could.

The academy was massive, with towering spires and vast training grounds. The freshmen were to gather in the main hall for orientation.

At the academy, Aiden was astonished by the sheer number of talented Gifted students from all walks of life. His ranking of 3rd among the freshmen was a testament to his exceptional abilities.

During the orientation, a senior student named Alex was assigned to guide Aiden through the academy. Alex was friendly and knowledgeable, and he explained the academy's rules and customs.

"As the 3rd ranked freshman, you'll have the privilege of a solo room in the dormitories," Alex explained as they walked. "The top 50 students in each year get this special treatment."

"That's great news," Aiden replied, grateful for the added privacy and focus.

Alex continued, "Now, about the fighting rules. Students are allowed to engage in fights with each other. Friendly sparring is encouraged to improve combat skills and build camaraderie. However, there are some restrictions and consequences."

He explained the rules about challenges, degradation in rankings, and limitations on challenging students with lower ranks. Alex also mentioned that the academy permitted death battles, but there were serious repercussions for killing someone from an important family.

"Death battles?" Aiden repeated, raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah, it's rare, but sometimes two students can't resolve their conflicts peacefully. In such cases, the academy permits a death match, and the winner takes all," Alex clarified. "However, if one of the student belongs to a prominent family, the academy will launch an investigation to ensure it was a fair fight. If it's proven that the death was unjustified or malicious, the academy may take punitive actions against the victor. Additionally, the prominent family of the fallen student may seek retribution, and the academy will mediate to prevent further conflicts."

"I understand," Aiden said, nodding in acknowledgment. "I'll be cautious about accepting challenges and focus on self-improvement. And it's not just about winning, but making sure the battle is justified."

"Exactly," Alex affirmed. "It's essential to resolve conflicts through honorable means whenever possible. The Noxus Academy values integrity and responsibility, and we encourage our students to uphold these principles."

As they continued their tour, Alex showed Aiden various facilities and districts within the academy. The training grounds were equipped with specialized areas for honing combat skills and mastering Gifted abilities. The entertainment district offered opportunities to unwind and socialize after rigorous training.

They finally reached the class courses area, where Aiden saw the diverse range of classes available. "You'll have the opportunity to explore different courses to enhance your abilities as a freshman," Alex explained. "Take your time to decide which path you want to follow;There are a lot of them."
